I got an old fat mutt at the animal shelter, took him to the vet because he had lots of bumps all over, and clearly wasn’t on top of his game. They prescribed an anti-allergy pill called Apoquel, although we don’t know what he is allergic to. I had...

We found this old guy at the animal shelter, looking kinda pathetic because of allergies, according to our vet. We got some pills and eyedrops and special shampoo, now Cody is feeling better. He is enjoying having a back yard, and snoozing on the floor in my office, with...

We have been sort of confined to quarters by bad weather, so to keep from going all REDRUM! we have been playing Pictionary. Now, every time we open the Pictionary box, I am confronted by the the drawings from earlier games. This picture is pretty obviously “Deodorant”… … But...
